The University of Wyoming has approved plans to renovate the Laramie campus to accommodate both first- and second-year students simultaneously -- a reflection of new curriculum in the University of Washington's medical program, which spans five northwest states.

It will enable Wyoming students to spend more time closer to home in the first two years of medical school.
